MERI CHANDANI

THE CHASE FOR THE BATTLE

CHANDANI'S POV

I felt as if I was flying in the air which made my eyes shrink. As soon as I opened my eyes I realized someone lifted me from my sleep. The picture got more clear when I saw Shiv's face and perceive that I was in his arms and he is running through a passage with me. This made me confused about where is he taking me in the middle of the night in so much rush.

Looking closely I captured his eyes were filled with rage and his neck veins were oozing out. His whole body was shaking in anger and this made me worried. I cupped his face with my one palm and made him tilt his face towards me. He looked at me passing a little smile and kissed the crown of my head and continue running hastily. 

''Shiv, what happen'' I questioned wiping the sweat buds that formed on his face, I could read through his face that he is just being calm for me otherwise there is a storm going on inside his head. My head was aligned against his chest and I could hear his loud heartbeats. I need to know What is going on.

''Nothing, moon everything will be under control soon'' he answered and my eyes widen, everything will be under control means something is terrible going on and he doesn't want to tell me. I heard a lot of noises which were going loud and loud, some were painful screams and some of them was the sound of guns. I slowly start to adapt to his lifestyle and this situation screams danger.  

I gulp and tighten my hold around him as all the negative thoughts roam around my head. Why does no one want us to leave in peace? Lost in my thoughts I didn't realise when he put me down, looking around I was able to grasp that this is his secret chamber. It was just one small room packed with everyside. 

He cupped my face and titled it towards him, and my eyes instantly met with his. He keeps looking at me without saying anything as if he is looking at me for the last time. I open my mouth to say something but he hushed me.

''Moon, Siddharth will be here in no time, if I didn't come back just go with him'' he said and my eyes widened with the mention of the possibility that he can not be back. The fear of losing him was getting more prominent in every fibre of my body. I shook my head negatively no I can't lose him. 

''No why would I go with him, I will stay with you'' I clutch on his arm letting it all out desperately. He detached himself from me and shake me by my shoulder. 

''Do you believe in me'' he questioned and I gulp nervously, yes I do believe in him but not in our destiny when it is hell behind separating us. Getting no answer he repeated the same question and I looked into his eyes, which made me believe that we will pass through this too. 

''I do'' I whispered lowly, he brushed my hair back and promised ''Then believe me this separation is the only way for us to be together forever''.

I nodded my head at him and stood on my toes, as he leaned down to my height I placed my lips on his forehead letting them linger there for a minute. He did the same and mumble an I love you which I responded gladly. Then it was time for me to leave him, I looked at our intertwined hands separating slightly as he takes his one step forward. In my heart, I do not want him to leave, but I do not have any other choice. With a heavy heart, I left his hand and he left after giving me a last glance.

For almost an hour I sat there digging my face into my knees, this was so terrifying. The sound of bullets and the painful screams keep ringing in my ears. My hands were shivering badly as my body shooked in fear. An unknown terror bubbled inside my heart as if it ripped my chest. Did something happen to him? Why I am feeling empty inside? 

Suddenly I heard loud footsteps indicating someone is coming towards this direction. I panicked and start to find a place for me to hide but before I can find it the door got slammed hard and some men came face to face. I took my steps backwards as they start to come close to me. I thrash everything that came into my hand but they all dodged it. In the end, I found my back hitting the wall indicating that I am trapped and can not run now. One of the men came forward and pulled me by my shoulder and start dragged me outside. I keep hitting his hand to get myself free but it was no use.
